Lessons from the PERCH WHISPERER! Tips to help you bag more SURFPERCH

[@calsnoboarder]

This is by far, the best, most informative surf perch fishing video on KZbin... explanations on behavior and tendencies when feeding and even snippets of what to look for in terms of water action for each species. Great job, thank you for this video!

[@ishwithfish]

thx for the kind words man!

[@JoeStackSJC]

I appreciate that he has no worries about passing on knowledge. Thanks to him for that.

[@jocelynnguyen2812]

Wow, another video of yours where I stopped what I was doing (eating crab, in this case. Not much a Viet girl will stop eating crab for 😂) to sign in just to like and comment. I grew up crabbing but am just getting into fishing. Finally caught my first perch a few weeks ago, caught some today, I’m obsessed. There was so much good info in this video!! Thanks again!

[@ishwithfish]

np, thx for the comment and good luck out there!

[@jjeffkocher1736]

My favorite tasting fish and I've lived in several countries including Spain and Italy and this fish is my favorite.

[@tedtellian9269]

Dear Ish. I have watched many of your perch fishing u tube videos. I am very thankful of you for sharing your knowledge of gear and tech for catching surf perch. Would you be so kind as to share that place where you caught all those perch with the perch whisperer.

[@ReelLifeFisherman]

Great video! I’m about to get into to surf perch fishing.. I’m taking a trip up north and going to give it a shot! Lots of good info thanks for sharing!

[@Outwestwithchris1]

Awesome day for you guys! Great tips from the Perch Whisperer, learned a ton. Thanks for the vid Ish!

[@user-kk6lc1th2r]

This is was a crazy well presented video. Great info, audio was on point even though the PW wasn't mic'd up, nice supplemental info bar at the bottom, and y'all caught hella fish. Really well done.

[@ishwithfish]

thx P, the mic i run on my GoPros is the single best gear investment i've made. crazy small with crazy good pick up. for anyone reading this, associate link in the description, trust me it's the real deal.

[@ishwithfish]

also, yes! i've been meaning to run a pop-up info bar for awhile, it just takes forever to animate it. now that i have the templates done i'll include them moving forward, especially product reviews.

[@MACNTOSFAM]

real interested in your vids bro. do you take out viewers, especially first-timers like me, beach/surf fishing. i have the gear for the most part. i’d definitely be interested in a “fishing instruction/tour.” i don’t really have anyone to show me to fish or have ever had anyone to show me how to fish. thanks bro. keep up the great work

[@calicooutdoors]

Holy crap dude, Perch Whisperer using a $700 combo for perch fishing lol. Great vid Ish! Learned lots, thanks for sharing.

[@ishwithfish]

lolol even the perch sticks are expensive up here!

[@2theM00n]

What combo is that? im curious....:]

[@calicooutdoors]

+All Action Pack 9'6" G-Rod Pro Striper (MSRP $410) with a Shimano Sustain FI 5000 (MSRP $310). My guess is Marlon also goes after stripers with that setup, not just perch haha.

[@ishwithfish]

CaliCo Outdoors yeah this is his striper setup, buuut he uses the same bait too lol. the Perch Whisperer laughs at our feeble lures.

[@jjeffkocher1736]

What would you spend for your favorite fish?

[@hamiltonbeaniecat2826]

is it now good for striped bass, im goin in 3 weeks fr now. hope to meet you.

[@motoxron1]

Does the Perch whisper have a channel too? Ps, i got the frogg toggs you recommended and they are awesome 🎣

naw, pw has no channel. yup those waders are great value😁

I didn't know Converse made wading boots!

[@M4tactics]

Lets fish man! I’m in SF

[@Bobbersvlog]

Did you have any issue with sea grass or kelp getting tangled in your line?

[@ishwithfish]

no tangles, but if there's there's lots of grass i usually change beaches.

[@ispeedinwater]

Hey Ish! What happens if you gut hook an undersized fish? Like a 9" red tail for example?

[@ishwithfish]

not much you can do unfortunately😭 i cut the leader as close to hook as possible, release fish and hope it rusts out in time. otherwise you take a chance of big ticket if caught in possession with a short fish.

[@lukemallet916]

@@ishwithfish wait they ticket if you hold a fish to release it? No way that's insane and terrible

[@jorgecarapia]

@@lukemallet916 No, you only get a possession ticket if you keep a short fish longer than necessary to release it. For example, if you take a picture with a short fish, you are in violation since you are not "immediately" returning it to the water.

[@leonardoponce8405]

Is 10 inch the legal size in California?

[@ishwithfish]

for which surfperch species? min redtail 10.5", barreds no size limit.

[@cjsoutdoors4412]

[@edwardnavarette499]

Wow galing sama. Ako mag fishing first time ko mag fishing

[@alexrod714]

Absolutely love the video. My only question is where can i purchase live bloodworms? Im in california.

[@ishwithfish]

thx for watching. they're tough to source, but in south bay check Fishery Supply in sj, or New Coastside Tackle in Pacifica.

[@mattchanthasy9821]

So the best time to fish perch is during low tide? I'm not sure if I heard that correctly.

[@ishwithfish]

Fish will bite anytime, but as long as there's consistent tide change, fish will feed best. For example, if high tide is at 9 am, best bite will prob be 6-8am and then 10-12pm.

[@mattchanthasy9821]

Ish With Fish Got it, thanks boss!

[@charleneanddrewmalate7111]

What’s up Ish?! Great video. Are you using an egg weight in this video? How much weight?

[@ishwithfish]

yup! we throw mainly carolina rigs with 4' fluoro leaders and 1 to 2 oz egg weights depending on current. in this vid we used 2 oz since the sidewash was strong that day.

[@charleneanddrewmalate7111]

Ish With Fish thanks man! You doing the Sand crab classic this year?

[@ishwithfish]

naw, i wish :( my schedule didn't allow it. if you go catch a 3.5 lb+, that seems to be the weight to beat each year, crazy!

[@vauzt1859]

hey ish, what shades are you wearing? im looking for an over glasses shades

[@ishwithfish]

i use some cheap $20 Solar Shades i found at Walgreens. a must have in the surf!

[@SuperDuperOutdoors]

Looks like fun bro..Pinoys be killin hella fish.

[@thaoheffernan5717]

What size hook do you use for surf perch?

[@ishwithfish]

size 6 baitholder👍🏼

[@jacklieu28]

Great vid & tips. How heavy of a weight are you using?

[@ishwithfish]

i usually throw a 1.5 oz egg weight. thx man!

[@seamurda100]

Would these techniques work in Florida gulf coast?

[@ishwithfish]

as far as reading the water and anticipating fish behavior, yes, i think the tips here apply to all surf species. the way you'd work your bait would probably differ though; just mimic the way your area's natural bait is naturally presented to your targeted species. hope this helps!

[@pmp521]

Nice vid man! I know you're not going to disclose the fishing spot but I would love to run into the perch whisperer and pick his brain. Socal or norcal?

[@ishwithfish]

np, we're in norcal

[@Daniel-wb5zu]

dude nice videos whats a good surf perch rod and reel

[@ishwithfish]

okuma sst 9' med, daiwa BG 3000, 30 lb braid and 20 lb mono leader ...you can can pretty much catch anything in west coast surf short of a big ray.

[@Daniel-wb5zu]

great thanks so much

[@edgargodinho173]

Would the Daiwa BG 4000 be to much for the lamiglas 8’6 salmon rod?

[@ishwithfish]

hi, yeah the 4000 would be too chunky and unbalanced for that size lami imo. i'd suggest the 3000 or even 2500 bg for the 8'g XII, nice light tackle setup. if you need a bg 4000, you're talking 9 to 10' m or mh surf rods.

[@edgargodinho173]

Cool thank you

[@ctbsancho2516]

So 30lb braid main line to swivel with 3oz egg then 4' 20lb mono with what size hook?

[@ishwithfish]

yes that's the line i use, varying leader length anywhere 2 to 8', with 2 oz egg weight and size 6 baitholder hook.

[@ctbsancho2516]

@@ishwithfish thanks Ish!

[@Xomenra01]

I used to surf fish with bloodworms on the east coast years ago. Now I live on the central Oregon coast. I fish for Perch but can't find anywhere that sells bloodworms on the west coast. Can you tell me where you find your bloodworms?

I just started out and I'm here in the City but I'm not even near your league lol

Is this central coast California?

Where can you get blood worms in the SF Bay Area?

New Coastside Tackle in Pacifica when they're available.

[@bersa5b366]

How us Ocean Beach for perch fishing?

[@ishwithfish]

great, but tbh striper season is underway so i haven't targeted perch in a bit.

do you think you could leave me a link to the okuma sst

[@davidg105]

Where are you all fishing? I want to surf fish but I have not been able to figure it out. To me surf fishing feels like Man against the Sea and the Sea always kicks my ass. Damn it, those surf perch look so good to cook up and eat.

[@ishwithfish]

haha i feel you, i learn something new ever time i'm out there. i don't disclose locations, but, i'll tell you to look for steep wave breaks with white water in the first 50 yards from shore. in that messy water is where redtails tend to thrive.

Where did he buy those live bloodworms?

[@ishwithfish]

at a shop in Pacifica, i'm not sure which one tho

[@revosail]

Awesome video, Ish. Keep it coming. Wish I was there with you guys. Anyways, did you ever ask what triggers the switch to live bloodworms from the gulp? Thanks.

[@ishwithfish]

thx man. he uses the gulp to test how hungry they are. if they're tasting and not biting, or the hooksets are on the outside of the lip, he'll start using live bait.

[@revosail]

Got it! Thanks. Also like your formula: White water, messy, bubbly=RedTail, Calm rolling waves = BSP. You're cool bro. Origin: Batangas, Phil. How about you?

[@ishwithfish]

half pinoy, half puerto rican. i'm basically the bruno mars of youtube fishing channels lolol (except for the singing part haha)

[@revosail]

Had to go to Gray Whale from 4 to 6 pm today inspite of lousy weather to check my new Shimano Scimitar perch rod. Was gifted with a 13.5 inch Redtail. Needless to say, went home one happy dude. Fished/walked the entire beach 3 times and caught at the 3rd stretch by the rock at the left side of the beach. Wife made "Sinigang" and ate just a 3rd of the fish. Sarap sarap.

[@revosail]

New to surf fishing but very good with kayak fishing. A lot more to learn on reading the beach/waves as to troughs, holes, rips.
